Expanded In-home Services for the Elderly (EISEP)

EISEP is a long-term care program for frail older people who need assistance to be able to remain in their own homes. Our staff assesses and manages each case and makes arrangements for home care services. The cost of the home care service is shared between the client and the Office for Aging and is based upon the client's need and ability to pay for the service.

Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS)

A PERS provides 24 hours a day access to a dispatcher. Seniors have a push button that can be worn around the neck or wrist. Typically, a PERS user provides a list of three emergency contacts and in the event of an emergency, the dispatcher will try to contact one of the people listed as an emergency contact. If no one is available help will automatically be sent to the home.

The Office for Aging supports seniors and their caregivers as they pursue PERS units. For more information about PERS units along with a list of providers, please download our PERS Unit handout.

We will deliver a hot lunch and a cold supper meal, that together provide two thirds of the Recommended Dietary Allowance of nutrients, to your home Monday through Friday if you meet the eligibility requirements.

You may be eligible for this service if you are:

60 years and over, and

Unable to prepare your meals because of accident, illness or frailty.

Program Features

Limited special diets are available.

The suggested contribution is $6.50 per day. Contributions are an important part of the budget and enable us to continue the service. You will not be denied service if you are unable to pay.
